<p>One of the great things about the Athena Talks in Stockholm is that it is such an intensely organized event with an impressive diversity of ideas and an amazing efflorescence of urban approaches and perspectives. This lively assemblage of leading female urban scholars will have long-term consequences in regard to future debates on architecture and urban design, surely providing a vigorous discussion at the present.</p>

- Michael Sorkin, distinguished professor of architecture of the City University of New York, architectural critic, writer, urbanist and president of Terreform,

This book is the first in which current societal themes revolving around urbanism, architecture, and city planning are put forth solely through female perspectives. It reveals the importance of having female lenses on certain societal debates.
